Thank you for watching!
I could listen to your voice all day - you have such a nice, no-frills attitude to your video producing, without resorting to overly exciting tones or crazy gestures or faces - such a beautiful contrast to many other takes on similar ideas. You seem to care much about the functional design, fitting shapes and quality execution, but still manage to work with inexpensive materials, that fit the intended purpose. Also nice to see the roundover plane in action. I like that conversion project a lot. Cheers, Micha.

So refreshing to have a woman look and act like a professional, and not try to be cute or funny or somehow feel she has to sell her personality instead of showing how to make a product. Yahoo for you Amy!
You can compliment women without having to tear down others. There is nothing wrong with being “cute” or “funny” and it certainly does not indicate a lack of professionalism.
Well I thought she was very cute
Yah not the best comment bud
I agree,just straightforward with the facts
This is by far the best element bed design I've seen. Thank you for sharing.
I've built a table/arm rest for mine. It's in one of my videos. Cheers! #BigMacSam
The same bed n many vintage campers.
thank you!
@@BigMacSam nice looking armrest :)
@@AmyMakesStuff Thank you very much! Stay awesome!
Out of all the camper van videos I've watched, yours is the best bed design I have seen! I like your woodworking skills too, very impressive!
thank you!
@@AmyMakesStuff Did you get rid of the first bed frame you made?
I did, sorry!
Very cool
Your voice is relaxing and your craftsmanship is executed very well . Thank you
Very inspiring! I'm about to start my "build" in a Honda Pilot. I'm 62, and have been a woodworker (off & on) since high school, and if mine turns out even half as good as yours, I'll be pretty happy. Thank you for sharing this.
The young lady has some skills!!! Excellent!!
TY for sharing your design! I've just built it for my 18 4runner TRD without ripping according to plans (too lazy to use a table saw). Lost some bed width, redoing it and planning to fold bed towards the wheel well too. Again ty.
WOW! This young lady is Amazing! Wish I had her skills to build my own bed on my Element...!
🤔👍 I agree ‼
Very ingenious design for that bed.
Your wood working skill is excellent you are too good with proper finishing. I will be converting my TOYOTA QUALIS in to a micro camper. Thanks for sharing your work with us. God bless.
Amy, you’re a freaking rockstar. Thanks so much for generously sharing this. I’ll be referencing your build for the plans on my Element!
wooo!! yes! good luck on the build!
You are an amazing crafts person. I wish I had your equipment to make the bed but you have given me some ideas on how to get a bed like that even if I, as an apartment dweller, don’t have the machinery you have, You are an inspiration? Thank you,
This bed is AMAZING!! I especially enjoy the collapsing aspect, since that would allow a one of the seats to still fit. 🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏
Absolutely LOVE this and am making one myself to repay the current two box system that I have.
What a fascinating personality she has.
I didn't realise how much work and skill had gone into making the bed. The precision work and attention to detail is superb. Thanks for posting this
I find you absolutely amazing 😉 . IKEA would be lucky to have you in their engineering department .
I also love your voice , thank you for your share 🙏. Always wishing you the very best friend!
Agreed! Very talented!
🤔👍👏👏👏👏 very talented engineering . 👍👍👍👍🏅🏆🏅🏆

I absolutely love your content. The things that sold me on your channel was the fact that you included your mistakes, how to fix them, and the design tweaks along the path to final assembly.
Wow beauty brains and skills of a master boat builder.
Very satisfying to watch and especially when the the slats make that clicking sound when you push them back into place.
it is a real kick for me to see how all the forms you made so carefully with the bendsaw are fitting like a glove. Wow! That must be really satisfying. I'm always struggling with the round and bending contours in my Kangoo, even when i'm using cardboard or paper, it always differs a few milimeters.. grrr. So I produce a lot of molds before i can make my definite element. Great work and fascinating to watch you work.
What a superb design. Thanks for taking the time and care to make a video, explain the process, and provide the plans. This is really well thought out and I appreciated the tight fits you achieved and the rounding of the edges and corners.
You're such a soothing person. Thank you
Ahhh that fit is so satisfying...will definitely follow this when I do a rebuild
Cool build!! Elements have a lot of usable space !
You are so smart. I admire when a woman can do stuff by herself. Keep going. Love it. I need a teacher like you.
This is badass, especially for someone (me) that wants to car camp but also has a toddler that must be seated in the back. Very cool, thank you!
I love all the engineering, but damn your voice is so relaxing it helps me sleep!!
LOVE THIS! I have always loved the Honda Element. Love the bed design and may replicate to add a bed to my 1970 Chevy C10 pickup.
Every since I got my Element, I've been watching Element videos. Nice job!
EXCELLENT VIDEO
I have been wanting to do this for years... and this year should be the year!
I have seen many other videos ... but I LOVE yours because for one thing... you have 2 different pull out... SOOOOO Smart. and you took the time to SAND all the wood.
Thank you for sharing this great video.
I’m glad you like it 😊 good luck on your build and happy camping!!!
@@AmyMakesStuff
Thank YOU Amy
Nice work. Quality craftsmanship.
exactly what i built in my truck. currently in back of my truck. however it’s 24 inch wide, but i can pull it out and will give more room for 2 person to sleep on. but i’m traveling alone so i have more room on the side of the bed.
edited the real reason i built it is cuz of my truck bed inside is 68 inch long and i’m 72 inch tall (6 feet tall) so i have to sleep bit side than front to back. that style of pull out frames helps lot.
I like this design. I have a futon that folds up, but this would be more convenient, light weight and easier to operate. Excellent!
Nice build! I like the 2-piece slide out, gives you almost an L-shaped sofa/lounger with the right cushions. Thoughtfully innovative, again; you rock.
You are who I want to be when I grow up--but since I'm 62 now, not likely. Awesome build, going to give it a try.....we'll see. LOL Thanks for the awesome video and the plans.
Love the details that make the sliding in easier. And keeping the slide in two sections is more practical too.
Looks like a great design and awesome execution.
Excellent tutorial. Your channel deserves many more views - van builders are missing out. Not a moment wasted. Thank you.
Amazing work, very well crafted and built!
This is so rad! Thank you so much for sharing the plans. This is exactly what I've been wanting to make since I bought my Element, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. You're a badass crafty angel.
Good luck on the build, thanks for watching!
I’ll definitely use your plans on my 2005 Element, and send results. Really appreciate the attention to detail and the glimpse of your work shop, impressive small shop space ! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
looking forward to seeing your setup! yes, the little shop gets a lot of love :)
This is by far the best build/most informative video for this style of bed for the Element that I've seen. I'm returning to The States after living in Europe for a few years (where we sadly do not have any Elements) and first on my list is to buy another one. I will definitely give this build a shot when I do. Thank you so much Amy!!!
Wooo!! Happy building!
Wow, I got to say I am very impressed with your design and the way you put it together. I'm 70 and could never do anything like this but if you don't mind I'm going to borrow your plans with hopes that I can find someone who can build this for me. I watched some of your other videos and again you are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I don't even have an Element but this was addicting to watch!
Gosh! You make it look so easy! I'm wanting to do something similar for my Honda fit. I love the simple design and the versatility of the bed/bench.
You can do it!! Also everything looks easier after editing 😆 A Honda Fit will be cozy but I love that car, my brother has one.
I've seen many Element camper videos and they're all great but this is by far my favorite, thank you!! 🤘💓
Nice. Very handy design and construction skills. Thank you.
Great job, thinking of using this idea on a 2022 Hyundai tucson n line. Thanks.
AWESOME attention to detail! Great job! Thanks for sharing.
I followed you after seeing your cat food thing you made. But now that I see you are a fellow Element owner, I know I made the right choice to follow you!!!
Wooo element owners unite!
wow! Very nice work! That bed is awesome!
Would love to put several likes. Impressed . . . With everything
Thank you for sharing! Its helped me figure out how I want my own build to be, and a step to step is helpful 🙌
I am very glad to see a highly skilled lady who is not doing show off like some of lady woodworker TH-camrs !
I wish you the best 🌹
This will save me some serious time. Very detailed. Thank you Amy!!!
You’re welcome! Good luck on your build!
I like the design and the quality of your wood working skill. Great to see😊
Thank you 😊
I can't believe how fast she moves when building this bed! It would take 10 workers to keep up with her! 😁😁😁
This was amazing. What you built and how you built it. Thank you.
Not only a very nice design, but also excellent workmanship and video production. Looking at doing something very similar on my '05 BOX. Cheers.
Nice work, thanks for sharing your expertise.
The best built I have seen!
Oh, Amy! You did a yeoman's job with these plans, really outstanding. Thanks!
GorillaDesperado 🙏😊
Great bed and video. Thank you for sharing. You are very talented.
You are a talented woodworker! I have a slat bed in my transit connect, and I didn't like when trying to close it it was a little hard because the sliding slats wouldn't go over the back rail, so I added a 6ft long by 1" wide by i guess a 1/4" piece of aluminum flat stock from home depot, and screwed through it into the sliding slats, so they move more smoothly and I can't feel it under the mattress. Keep up the great work!
nice fix! thanks for watching!
Hi Amy, a big thank you for sharing this and the plans! Over on the other side of the world (in Australia), I have adapted your design for my VW Caddy and love it. I can say with certainty that it would have taken me at least double the time to figure it all out without your generously shared videos and plans!
Yay!!! That’s awesome, I’m so happy to hear that, congrats on your build!
Amy, I'm watching all of your very interesting videos, I'm going to run out of them! Keep up the good work!
Great job Amy, turned out really nice.
Love your design for the element just wish I had your tools to make my own.😢
Beautiful work ❤
Amazing woodworking skills, I'm impressed. It gave me an idea for my MitsuMontero.
This video was amazing to watch
2018 rav4 is different with the seats not folding flat ...
But this video was very enjoyable
Thank you!
You are so smart! wow, I hope to make this kind of build someday!
Super helpful. Just the right amount of detail. The turnbuckle was not something I had considered and I will definitely add it to my build. Same with the curve pieces. Thank you so much.
Inspired and working on this soon with my o3!
been looking for some solid designs that i like and i think i finally found one! thanks!
Awesome, thanks!
Really like how you cut pieces for the contour of the van. Nice work.
Great video! I especially liked the pacing, skipping over all the stuff that's repetitive and showing only the tricky and important bits.
Rounding over all the edges, really a nice job!
You have amazing skills and tools..Where did you learn your skills? You are awesome..Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..
Thank you for watching! I started playing with my dad’s tools in elementary school and then studied mechanical engineering in school.
妳的手工真的很棒！靈巧的設計，謝謝分享。
Appreciate your attention to detail particularly on the contour pieces. Mad carpentry skills! Keep up the great vids👍 Great inspiration for an innovation I planning.
Kudos !!!!! you got mad skills young lady !!!!!
Thanks!
This is bad ass, I’m so doing this to my 2004 element ASAP. It’s camping season!
Thanks
You are absolutely the best designer.
Hello. Wonderful skills and extremely informative video. I would like this type of build for my Hyundai SantaFe. Thanks Amy!
The more I watch these videos the more I want an element! :o
I'm in awe of your woodworking skills. Very well done. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice woodworking...lots of care and attention to detail.
Fantastic work, it looks great! Love watching a well planned out design come together.
I love your style! Wabi sabi, to the point.
This is great. Thank you.
This is awesome! I love how you made the pull-out section in two pieces. Thanks for the drawings.
i'm stuck between the honda element and the chevy cargo. element is way more stealthy, better gas mileage and can go " off road" a little bit while the chevy is much larger and comfortable... it's a hard decision but i get hope when i see nice builds like yours
Depends a lot what you’re going to use it for. I don’t live in mine full time. I’d probably have more storage built in if I did. But yes, the stealth of this is A+.
I've now used this plan as a template for 3 different platforms (Element, Kia Soul, and Subaru Ascent)!
Whoa!!! That’s a lot of campers!
@@AmyMakesStuff and none of them were for me 😭😭😭
That’s how you get practice for when you do your own 😂😂😂
True, of course I need a vehicle first!
Toally straight, but damn I'm girl crushing on you. You're amazing!!!!
Great job, a suggestion for making contour cuts, search TH-cam for Ticking Stick. I made a platform for my dog to ride on the passenger side of my Jeep. (Got the idea from a guy on TH-cam) Oh, and I used a turnbuckle to hold the platform to the base, on the floor.
Great bed and video. Thank you for sharing.
🤔😁👍 you make me proud of your professional carpenter skill .
